Reviews

The Endura Zyme 3/4 shorts are mountain bike specific shorts and are tough enough to handle the rugged trails as they use durable pre-washed easy care nylon fabric with wicking finish to help pull moisture away from the skin.

The shorts feature a smooth underside to avoid snagging or pressure and the double seat panel and twin/triple stitching adds to the overall comfort. Complete with a substantial webbing belt with snap lock buckle that helps you get the perfect fit and multiple pockets give you plenty of storage options including front hip pockets, zipped security pocket, easy access zipped thigh pocket and rear jeans pockets.

Compatible with the Clickfast system meaning they can be worn with any liner shorts that are also marked with the Clickfast symbol.

Founded in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1992 by keen club cyclist Jim McFarlane. Endura's goal was to produce cycle clothing that was focused on function and longevity without cutting corners on material and construction. It's this enduring ethos that still permeates throughout the company today.

Their first offering was the MT500 range of shorts, tights and jerseys which were launched into the market at the time when mountain biking was growing rapidly in popularity. The range was an instant success and established the brand almost overnight as the choice of clothing for the new breed of mountain bikers. Now Endura have grown to become the largest and most acclaimed cycle clothing supplier in the UK.

The company currently manufactures both with partner companies and also in its own custom built 32,000 square feet (3000 sq m) facility in Livingston, Scotland. They work closely with a number of sponsored elite road, track and MTB cyclists to develop and refine products, of particular note is their position as official clothing supplier and sponsor of the Scottish Cycle Team (which includes Chris Hoy, winner of 3 gold medals at the Beijing Olympics in 2008).

Fabrics & Materials

Technologies

PTFE

COLDBLACK

PTFE is the most breathable membrane technology currently available and is employed in performance fabrics by Goretex and eVent. The Characteristic lattice structure of this material provides superior moisture vapour transmission properties in comparison to conventional PU and TPU membranes. Test results have proven PTFE Protection to retain an impressive breathability rating of greater than 28,000gms/m2/24hrs after multiple machine washes.

Dark colours attain higher temperatures than light colours when exposed to the same intensities of direct sunlight. ColdBack technology textile finishing reduces this effect by increasing the amount of infrared and ultraviolet UV rays that are reflected from the fabrics surface, thereby dramatically reducing the sunlight heating effect. ColdBack also provides reliable protection from UV rays (minimum UPF 30).

THERMOLITE

CLICKFAST COMPATIBLE

Ideal for cold weather cycling, Thermolite uses hollow-core fibre technology to create an insulating layer of warm air. The result is a lightweight, warm fabric with superior moisture vapour transport transport properties that doesn't get heavy even when wet. The Thermolite quality developed by Endura has the added benefit of a High Performance Repel TEFLON fabric protector finish (from DuPont)

All Endura Baggy Shorts with the Clickfast compatible logo are Clickfast ready. These can be worn with any Endura Clickfast undershort or liner.

The MTR anti-slip system incorporates a one-way fabric which is applied to the inner waistband of the MTR Baggy Shorts and the lumbar of the MTR Bibshorts. The one-way proerties of this rabric create resistance in the opposing directions, locking the two surfaces together and securing the baggy shorts in place. This system significantly reduces snagging of the shorts on the bike saddle.

Light Rective lenses use photochromic technology for a rapid reponse to changing light conditions. The lenses respond in 7 seconds to light exposure and offer full UV protection according to the standard EN1836.

LYCRA

LIGHT REACTIVE PLUS

This material is used as an additive in all of Endura's skin-tight leg-wear to offer optimal stretch and recovery characteristics.

Light Reactive Plus lenses incorporate technology that allows for a particularly broad range of light filtration and so are ideal for use in widely changing light conditions. They offer full UV protection according to the standard EN1836.

A functional anti-fog finish on the inside of the lenses resists misting from perspiration (aided by vented lenses on the certain models). This helps provide unimpaired vision, particularly when stopping and starting on thebike.

TEFLON

HYDROPHOBIC

High performance Repel TEFLON fabric protector prevents fabric wetting out. TEFLON is a registered trademark of DuPont used under licence by Ebdura Ltd.

Hydrophobic finish is a technical enhancement to the lenses allowing them to repel water and spray. Water droplets simply slide off the lens leaving steak free, clear vision.

YKK ZIPPERS

LUMINITE II

All Zippers used in the Endura apparel range are industry leader YKK quality for high reliability.

The updated Endura Luminite LED unit now emits 8 times more lumens than before. It offers 3 phases of flash frequency and can operate for up to 50hrs on a single coin cell battery. The Luminite LED has a twist stud attachment which allows it to be interchanged between different Luminite products and makes it simple to detach for washing the garment. On certain garments it is housed behind a soft clear silicone hood which protects it from backpack damage and prevents you losing it.

MIG

WATERPROOF

Mig soft shell is a highly elastic performance waterproof and breathabe fabric. Not only does it have four way stretch it is also lightweight ensuring excellent comfort to the wearer at all times.

Measured in mm of water that can be held by the fabric without leaking. 1000mm is the minimum measurement needed to pass the accepted definition of "waterproof". All Endura waterproof garments are waterproof to 5000mm and above.

BAABAA MERINO

BREATHABLE

Endura's BaaBaa Merino wool is used in its purest form for Baselayer and as part of a fabric blend for Endura's warmer sock ranges.

Measured in grams of moisture that can pass through a square meter of fabric over 24hrs (g/m2/24hrs) using the B-1 inverted cup method. All Endura waterproof garments are fully "breathable"

KEVLAR

SEAM SEALED

Kevlar is a lightweight and highly durable yarn with tremendous tensile strength, which denotes the amount of stretching it can withstand before breaking. Kevlar is used on selected Endura prducts such as protectors, overshoe soles and gloves plams to offer protection in the areas that are most vulnerabe to abrasion.

For a garment to be fully waterproof, the seams must be sealed (in addition to the fabric itself being waterproof). All Endura waterproof garments are 100% seam-sealed.
